Hello, I would like to delete some data in the index older than a certain time... I am trying to use the delete by query index...However, before trying to delete the data, I am trying to view the data older than the time frame.. `POST ohsaccesslogsindex/_search { "query":{ "range":{ "@timestamp":{ "gt" : "2020-06-28T04:57:34.000Z"} } } }` By running the above, I get "No requests in range" I tried checking the data by the GET API and could see that there is data present since April... Could you please confirm what is it that I am doing wrong here ? ---

Few questions: - what is the version? - what does a document look like? - what is the mapping? ---
